About the role

We need someone to join us as our Operations and Governance Manager to ensure London Funders, its projects and subsidiary Collaboration Circle, run smoothly. The ideal candidate will bring strong organisational skills, a collaborative and people-led approach, and the ability to turn strategic thinking into clear, effective action. 

We’re at a pivotal and exciting point in the organisation as we’ve grown from three to thirteen team members in the last few years. Alongside this, London Funders now has a subsidiary organisation in its infancy, Collaboration Circle, and the potential for a second one through our place based work with London’s Giving. This growth creates real opportunities to shape and deliver strong communications across the London Funders family. 

We’re now looking for someone who can help us build on that growth by identifying opportunities for operational efficiency and designing smart, people-centred processes. This role will lead on implementing new policies, ensuring compliance with charitable and regulatory requirements across finance, HR, and governance, and managing digital systems to streamline workflows.

You’ll work closely with colleagues across the organisation translating strategic conversations into practical actions, such as producing high-quality board papers and ensuring smooth governance by coordinating schedules, meetings, and deadlines that supports effective decision-making. In addition, you’ll collaborate on recruitment, training, staff development, and organisational project management, helping to shape a supportive and high-performing team culture.This means that there is lots of opportunities to design, develop and implement new processes across the London Funders family. We are looking for someone who is adept at using a variety of systems (training provided) and can ensure all staff are confident in using them, this will be alongside our plans to implement the use of AI across the organisation.

We’re looking for someone who thrives in a small team but is equally confident working independently, who brings initiative and creativity to solve challenges, and—importantly—shares our commitment to building a fairer future for communities.
